About this word list
Our dictionary returns 86 matches — a deep pool for anagram practice, crossword solving, and vocabulary building.

Words with Friends shares most of these entries; the average score of 12.3 points reflects standard tile values without board multipliers. The average vowel-to-consonant ratio here is 0.47, which affects how easily you can form these words from a random seven-tile rack.
